Trinity Cranford "Animal Project" fundraiser through Dec. 17

Trinity Episcopal Church, 119 Forest Ave., Cranford, is collecting money for the Episcopal Relief & Development "Animal Project" program through December 17, 2017.

"Almost one billion people are affected by chronic hunger and poverty worldwide," said Reverend Andy Kruger, Trinity's Priest-in-Charge.

Globally, farming is the cornerstone of rural economies, most people rely on the food production from small family farms to feed their families and generate income. The ERD Animal Project gives families and communities healthy animals - goats, chickens, pigs and cows - that can help generate income from the sale of products such as milk and cheese.

"Our goal is to raise enough for two sheep and two goats this year, Father Andy said. "We invite everyone to join us in helping this life-enhancing and economic project," he continued.

Donations, made payable to "Episcopal Relief and Development," can be mailed to Trinity Church, 119 Forest Avenue, Cranford, NJ 07016 or dropped off at the church on Sunday mornings or at the church office in Witherington Hall. For more information, please call Marion at 908-245-1892.
